By William R. Draper

Book Overview

The Land Boomer is a personal experience story written by William R. Draper that recounts the rush of speculators, homeseekers, and settlers to the Great Southwest. The book provides a detailed account of Draper's own experiences during this time, as he traveled through the Southwest in search of land and opportunity. The story is set during the late 1800s, a time when the Southwest was experiencing a boom in population and economic growth due to the expansion of railroads and the discovery of natural resources.
